Alaska Adventure + Glacier View Car Launch

In one of the most epic episodes yet, Ken Hoeve, co-founder of FLATED®, takes us deep into the heart of Alaska for a roadtrip packed with adventure, breathtaking scenery, and a one-of-a-kind automotive event: the legendary 

Glacier View Car Launch. From rugged truck camping to launching vehicles off a cliff, this journey showcases not only Alaska’s raw beauty but also how FLATED gear is built to handle anything the road throws your way.

Truck Camping Through Alaska’s Wild Beauty

Ken’s adventure kicks off with classic Alaska truck camping, where the FLATED Air-Topper® transforms his truck into a cozy, mobile basecamp ready for off-grid exploration. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, vast forests, and crisp Alaskan air, Ken immerses himself in the full experience of life on the road up north.

Hiking & Fishing at Lowell Point

Next, Ken heads to Lowell Point, a stunning stretch of coastal wilderness. He laces up his boots for scenic hikes along rugged trails and casts his line for some fishing. It’s the kind of adventure that reminds you why Alaska is a dream destination for outdoor lovers.

Rolling Into Glacier View for the Main Event

After soaking up the beauty of Alaska’s coastline, Ken and Hannah make their way to Glacier View, home of one of the most outrageous Fourth of July traditions around: the Glacier View Car Launch. Here, locals and visitors gather to launch old cars and trucks—sometimes even loaded with gear—off a cliff for the ultimate airborne send-off.

Ken and Hannah pick up the launch truck, joins the prep crew behind the scenes, and helps get the vehicles ready for their final flight. Of course, the FLATED Air-Carrier® and Air-Topper® comes along for the ride, strapped on and holding strong as the trucks go airborne, proving once again that FLATED products are ready for the wildest of adventures.

Wrapping Up the Alaskan Adventure

After the adrenaline rush of launch day, Ken takes time to reflect on an unforgettable trip: the mix of quiet moments in nature, rugged off-road travel, and over-the-top fun that made this Alaska journey truly one of a kind. From truck camping to cliffside car launches, this adventure perfectly captures the spirit of FLATED—gear built to go anywhere, do anything, and make sure you enjoy the ride.
